Body wave observations of the Earth's inner core show that it contains strong seismic heterogeneity, both laterally and radially. Models structure generated using body data are often limited by their parameterisation. Thus, is difficult to determine whether features such as anisotropic hemispheres or an innermost truly exist with simple shapes, result only from chosen parameterisation in fact m...

Abstract Aim To investigate the inter and intra reliability of using 3D imaging to measure wounds. Method 20 wound models 4 different shaped wounds in 5 colours were created from plastic mouldable beads. images taken BlasterX Senz3D camera measured GPC Wound Measure application (version 3.15.0.0, UK). Intra-user was determined comparing measurements each model. Inter-user by clinicians photogra...

The spliceosome excises introns from pre-mRNA in a two-step splicing reaction. So far, the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a spliceosome with preserved catalytic activity has remained elusive. Here, we determined the 3D structure of the human, catalytically active step I spliceosome (C complex) by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in vitrified ice. Via immunolabeling we mapped the position...

We report the selective-area growth of a gallium nitride (GaN)-nanorod-based InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) core-shell structure embedded in a three-dimensional (3D) light-emitting diode (LED) grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and its optical analysis. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) observation revealed the high quality of the GaN nanorods...

A new 2D modeling method for E-core transformers adds an extended flux return path to the model of the section perpendicular to the core. Averaged with a section parallel to the core modified to have the same reluctance as the 3D model, the finite-element simulation results for total magnetic energy and magnetic energy in the windings are within 0.2-5.6% error relative to the 3D model in fiftee...

Wound complications represent a major source of morbidity in patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) and surgical resection of soft tissue sarcomas (STS). We investigated whether factors related to RT, surgery, patient comorbidities, and tumor histopathology predict the development of wound complications. An observational study of patients who underwent STS resection and RT was performed. Th...

Wound dressings are critical for wound care because they provide a physical barrier between the injury site and outside environment, preventing further damage or infection. Wound dressings also manage and even encourage the wound healing process for proper recovery. Polysaccharide biopolymers are slowly becoming popular as modern wound dressings materials because they are naturally derived, hig...

Digital photography as a non-invasive, simple, objective, reproducible, and practical imaging modality has been investigated for the wound healing assessment over the last three decades, and now has been widely used in clinical daily routine. Advances in the field of image analysis and computational intelligence techniques along with the improvements in digital camera instrumentation, expand th...
